The construction exoskeleton market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $0.76 billion in 2024 to $0.87 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 13.8%. The growth during the historic period is attributed to rising workplace injuries in construction, early adoption by major construction companies, increased investment in wearable technology, government safety initiatives, and the demand for solutions that enhance productivity.
The construction exoskeleton market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $1.44 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 13.4%. The growth expected in the forecast period is driven by a growing focus on worker safety and injury prevention, labor shortages in the construction industry, increasing demand for wearable support systems, expansion of urban infrastructure projects, and higher research and development (R&D) investments. Key trends anticipated in the forecast period include a shift toward battery-powered wearable exoskeletons, the development of AI-integrated support suits, modular exoskeleton designs for greater task flexibility, the rise of rental models for exoskeletons, and customization tailored to individual worker needs.
The growing emphasis on worker safety and injury prevention is expected to drive the expansion of the construction exoskeleton market in the coming years. This focus is fueled by increasing labor shortages in the construction sector and a rising demand for exoskeletons that help extend worker endurance and reduce physical fatigue. Construction companies are adopting exoskeleton technologies to enhance workplace safety, improve productivity, and minimize downtime caused by injuries. For example, in October 2024, the Health and Safety Executive (HSE), a UK-based national regulator for workplace health and safety, reported that approximately 33.7 million working days were lost to work-related ill health or injury in 2023-24, compared to 35.2 million in the previous year. As a result, the heightened focus on worker safety and injury prevention is propelling growth in the construction exoskeleton market.
Leading companies in the construction exoskeleton market are concentrating on developing innovative wearable support tools designed to boost productivity and reduce physical strain on workers. A wearable exoskeleton is a mechanical device worn on the body that supports, augments, or restores human physical abilities. Typically, it includes a framework aligned with the wearer’s limbs and joints and may use passive mechanisms, such as springs, or active systems equipped with motors, sensors, and actuators to assist movement. For instance, in August 2024, Festool GmbH, a Germany-based precision power tools manufacturer, introduced the ExoActive EXO 18 HPC 4 I-Plus, a wearable exoskeleton designed specifically for overhead construction tasks. The ExoActive provides up to 11 pounds of powered arm support, reducing muscle strain by as much as 30%. It offers a runtime of 1.5 to 5 hours, adjustable support zones, and app-based controls to ensure comfort, efficiency, and long-term well-being for workers.
In April 2025, KULR Technology Group Inc., a US-based advanced energy management platform company, formed a partnership with German Bionic Systems GmbH to commercialize the Apogee ULTRA exoskeleton across North America. This collaboration aims to enhance workforce safety and productivity by introducing German Bionic’s AI-powered sixth-generation exoskeleton to various sectors, including construction. The partnership also supports KULR’s launch of a new business division, KULR AI & Robotics, which focuses on accelerating innovation in affordable robotic solutions. German Bionic Systems GmbH is a Germany-based robotics firm specializing in AI-driven exoskeletons that improve worker support and reduce physical strain during industrial operations.

A construction exoskeleton is a wearable mechanical device designed to assist and enhance a worker’s physical abilities during construction activities. It helps reduce bodily strain by supporting lifting, carrying, or repetitive motions, thereby improving safety, decreasing fatigue, and potentially boosting productivity.
The primary categories of construction exoskeletons include full body exoskeletons, upper body exoskeletons, and lower body exoskeletons. Full body exoskeletons are wearable systems that provide support to the entire body, covering the arms, legs, and torso. These systems consist of hardware and software components and use various materials such as alloys, composites, and metals. The technologies involved include hybrid exoskeletons, rigid exoskeletons, and soft exoskeletons. The primary end-users span the construction sector, emergency services, healthcare industry, as well as military and defense.
